season. The market was weak from the
opening, and declines ranging mp TO
were established in the first
thirty minutes, after which prices tluctua-
ted within a very narrow range upon n
constantly decreasing business and with 4
general downward tendency, until after
noon, when the movement in prices became
im~perceptible and business Stagnant.
There was a renewal Of the depression i'll
the last hour, and though the market
closed a shade better than the lowest

From the Wytheville virginia. Enter
prise we take the following paragraph snent
our former townsman Mr.. Samuel Walton
"We learn that agents have secured OPP
tions from Samuel Walton * Co. upon
large area of the plaster lands in Rich Val
ley in Smyth county. These lands sre
amongst the most valuable properties in the
Southern States, and when fully developed
by railroad TO them, will prove source
OF great benefit 10 large section Of coun-
try as well as of great pecuniary value 10
the parties that own them.
II is a source of great wonder to US that
they have not long ago been bought up by
a Company of sufficient means TO develop
them. The plaster is Of the very best quail
ity, and absolutely inexhanstible in quanti-
ty, and we predict that the purchasers
"haye struck it rich" this time at least we
hope so for the sake of our people (vho
have been paying two or three prices for
plaster heretoforel rs well a. for ssm1

enterprising and public spirited citizens.

W. W. Ii. GALLAHER, Editor.
Charlesto,cn, Jefferson County, West Va
January "a, 1887.
Ho,c Great Books are Written.

1t was Byron, we believe, who said that
easy writing made hard reading. On this
score there ought to be nothing hard about
the reading of Balzac, who wrote, re-
wrote, and cut and trimmed his work till
it was never anything like it was begun.
Bret Harte is another writer who finds
writing anything but play. Dickens also
welded a very selfcritical pen. And as
a matter of fact, the best and most wor-
thy work of these men is the most fluent
and enjoyable in their languages. The
most evanescent and easiest forgotten lit
erature is the brilliant feuilleton and the
gay persihage of the paragraph writers
and popular story tellers, to whom pro-
duction is mere child's sport, pursued up
on mechanical lines to predetermined
end.
All good writing is labor of care and
correction. Ideas grow and improve.
ments are self-suggested. No matter how
well this store is put, it could be better
told, thinks the conscientious author, and
he planes and polishes at it and sends it
forth at last, not satisfied with it, but
forced to let it 60 because he can carry
its improvements no farther just now
But he applies to the next work the ex-
perience gained at its predecessor, and so
keeps on the upward march toward his
ideal.
There comes a time to every literary
producer who attains to age when his
work exhibits deterioration. 1t becomes
less strong in invention and less perfect
in style than the books which marked the
zenith of his power If this be traced
to its origin it will be found to be due to
the fact that the writer has become lax
in his habits of selfcriticism, and negli-
gent in his executive work. All great
painters in time become mannerists. Hav-
ing invented new and individual way
of painting, they finally carry it to ex-
tremes that often seriously mar their can
vas. Mannerism is as common in litera-
ture as in art, for the litterateur is, after
all, only an artist with the pen instead Of
the brush.

Ho1 He Got Rid Of an Ofce-seeker.

Attorney General Cassidy at one time
was annoyed very much by people solici-
ting his influence in securing fayors at
the State Capital. His patience was tried
beyond further endurance one morning,
and he resolved TO resort to piece Of
strategy that would probably suppress
the people who troubled him. A man
soon afterward entered his office, and, in
Producing himself, said:
"Mr. Cassidy, / believe that if ! can
secure the favor of your influence"
"What favor" ?" interrupted Mr.. CASH
dy, staring at the man.
"There is vacancy at the Capitol"
"What Capitol?" Mr.. Cassidy again
interrupted.
"Why," CALCULATED the man, catching
his breath, "the State Capitol"
"What state?'
BY this time the callers eyes were be-
ginning to bulge out upon his cheeks, and
his astonishment was increased by the
wild stare of Mr. Cassidy.
"You misapprehend me, guess" he
began, and he shifted his chair closer.
What guess?'
81 guess YOU are crazy" said the man
warming up, "apd I'll not trouble you.
Good morning"
"What morning." whispered Mr.. Cas-
sidy, as if his energies were completely
exhausted.
"You go to the ID, will your / guess
you haven't got any influence, anyhow"
what"
But the man slammed the door after
him and didn't hear the roar of laughter
that followed his MISUNDERSTANDING
Dispatch.

1t is said that Gen. Roger A. Pryor went
TO New York soon after the war without
dollar and with no introduction save bis
reputation as a soldier in the Lost Cause.
He acquired almost Immediately a good
practice which has steadily grown and now
yields him $4,000 year. The foregoing
is partly true but Gen. Pryor had more
reputation az public speaker and as an
editorial writer than as soldier-hOweyer
good as the latter.
